underrated af; saw no discussion about this album aside from a brief mention on a Fantano video

Isaac Garcia

Nicholas Gutierrez
Casual Friday - Weekend Forever
Saw these guys live at a tiny house party in Phoenix, they rock
Henry Taylor
Nice choice. Mirror Reaper is fucking heavy in an emotional way.
David Sanchez
...
Colton Morales
Sometimes I just wanna go outside and smash every thing I could get my hands on. This album serves as a substitute.
Carson Ross
...
Michael Williams
do EPs count?
Died - Died EP
Jonathan Edwards

Oliver Collins
v v v hidden gem, one of my favorites of the year.
Cool noise-folk album from my hometown of Minneapolis.
Album is Peaceful Night by Q-pup
Christopher Ward
damn i keep forgetting about this
Gavin King
nice
Bentley Walker
If Philip Glass made this every last WASP would have emptied their balls into the air and it somehow would have solved the migrant crisis.
Tyler Wright
So much stuff here I haven't even listened to
Connor Long
waaaat
I didn't know Sparks released a new album.
William Morales
Need a couple more listens, but it's one of my top AOTY contenders right now.
Very solid as well. If the artwork wasn't so repulsing maybe more people would listen to it.
I barely started working on this year's releases, but here are some of my picks so far
Tyler Jackson
...
Anthony Price
what could this be?
google image search was as useless as your filename
Levi Young
John Martinez
this, it's in everyone's best interest to put proper filename's at all times i don't fucking get it
Ryder Perry
...
Ian Perry
Julian Foster
...
Daniel Ortiz
France has had a very awesome year.
Kayden Fisher
i don't remember a single riff from this album
Cameron Taylor
what makes you think having memorable riffs was the point?
Jace Gutierrez
>what makes you think having memorable riffs was the point?
Sludge/stoner/doom metal without riff is similar to 3$ wine
Jordan Hill
From what I've listened to
Asher Phillips
if i can't remember a single moment from a record and zero captivating atmosphere to boot that's a sign it's not that good
bearing in mind i listened to dear around 9 or 10 times
Julian Moore
listen more pls. not even best Saturation
Tyler Jenkins
...
Jaxon Russell
glossy production. excellent to listen under the influence of controlled substances.
Lincoln Martin
Luckily nothing is stopping it being a 9/10 for me, shame that you didn't enjoy it.
Juan Ward
...
Ryan Miller
reccing this shit baby, GOAT album art as well
Ayden Thomas
>1st song is 4:20
Austin Davis
Native Cell - Native Cell
It's free on Bandcamp
If you know it you might know it technically came out in 2015 but the 2017 version is pretty drastically different
2015 version was pretty good but forgettable, 2017 version is an AOTY contender for me
I also have a top 100 chart that I've only made if halfway through, will post if there's interest though, just figured it'd be a bit much
Gabriel Ward
I think FFS is a little better but Hippopotamus is really good.
Cooper Watson
...
Landon Wilson
barely listened to anything tbqh
Justin Bailey
This is easily in my top five. It's beautiful.
Noah Foster
Lol wut ? Which one do you think is actually better. And please don't tell me you think III was better
Nolan Peterson
I will listen to this, seems interesting.
Adam Perez
meme
Wyatt Rivera
>dude random senseless noises all over the production
Landon Cox
Maybe not my AOTY, but I just listened to this last night and it's bretty good.
Easton Barnes
way too short but so lush
Thomas Campbell
Really like this album outside a track or two. Not sure if it's AOTY but it's top 5 for sure.
William King
probably one of the most unmemorable album of their entire career and it's coming from someone who loved New Album ...
Bentley Bell
link for the interested.
so do these guys not exist? Couldn't find a bandcamp nor soundcloud. and their 'label' doesn't exist on discogs or google search.
youtube.com
Bentley Mitchell
...
Isaiah Phillips
I was surprised as I didn't care a lot for the first couple of singles. Definitely one of my favorites this year.
Angel Hughes
emo revival continues
Owen Jackson
still mad underrated
Dylan Ortiz
diednyc.bandcamp.com
very hard to find, but they also have 10,000 likes on facebook for some reason. weirdest shit i've ever seen
Alexander Ortiz
saw ENDON on tour with Boris and they outshined them by far. great album.
